3.2. Off-campus water conservation support
MATE’s Department of Water Management and Climate Adaptation supports water conservation off campus
Besides providing regular classes and carrying out research, the department also aims to provide off-campus water conservation support. Students of their general courses (Agrometeorology and Water management [KORTU017N], Water Treatment and Utilization [KORTU193N], Water Management, Water Quality [KORTU187N], Water Resources Engineering [KORTU191N]) are encouraged to engage with their local communities and share their knowledge and skills related to water management. We are particularly focused on engaging with communities within the watershed of the Rákos-stream (our local stream close to Szent István Campus). They have recently demonstrated their related expertise at a conference organized by local NGO’s (link). Data from their meteorological station in Gödöllő is publicly available (link), and they are also currently developing a local soil moisture estimation system, to provide timely information for irrigation to locals, based on the results of their research project (FK12480).
